A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Marisauna, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Do you have any sources that support the second sentence, about the continuous track of protoplasm? If any of the sources you added for the first sentence also support the second, we should cite them after it. If not, we need to find some that do. —swpb^{T • go beyond • bad idea} 14:45, 23 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BDD (talk) 19:04, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello BDD,

Thank you for notifying me about the discussion of the redirect. Among racist far-right groups, “Dancing Israelis” is a relatively common shorthand for a 9/11 conspiracy involving a group of Israeli nationals employed as truck drivers; upon seeing the towers fall, they allegedly began dancing in joy.

If you are afraid that the redirect may be construed as anti-Semitic, I understand. But my intention in creating this redirect was to give people who may search “dancing Israelis” after hearing about it on, say, social media, a chance to hear a neutral viewpoint that contrasts that of the extremists they would otherwise see if they Googled it.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Santa Claus into Wild Hunt. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted ((copied)) template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 22:49, 7 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Theophoric name, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Jeremy and John. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Please note that disambiguation pages like Toyoda are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

• Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
• Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
• Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
• Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
• Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
• Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

Hello, Marisauna. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Kusoge".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 19:02, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Marisauna! I hope you are doing well. I was wondering if you can say why you added links in the See Also sections of these two articles, linking one to the other. I don't see any connection, and found the links confusing. I'd love to hear your thoughts about why you feel these articles should have these links. Cheers! Doctormatt (talk) 06:10, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Doctormatt: Hi! I added them to each other's See Also sections because I believe they have a similar setup, and discuss similar problems. For example:
–Both thought experiments see an individual having to choose between a "real" and an "unreal" reality (the "unreal" reality being the machine/cave).
–Both "unreal" realities see the individual having virtual experiences that only approximate reality.
–One of these realities is perceived, rightly or wrongly, as more pleasurable than the other.
–Both explore how much the given individual will prefer authenticity over preserving their status-quo (staying inside the machine/cave versus coming out of it).

Do you believe this is too tenuous? Please let me know. (User:Marisauna) 16:05, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Marisauna: Thank you for replying. I agree that there are some similar aspects of these two articles. I think they differ in a number of ways. I think the fact that people in the allegory are forced to stay in the cave makes it quite different from the experience machine that people are free to choose to use or not. Pleasure does not seem to be a significant aspect of the allegory (the word is not used in the article, for instance, though pain is discussed). The allegory does not seem to relate to hedonism as far as I can see. The Categories links provide connections to lots of related articles. I would not add the links to See Also, but, of course, that's just my lone opinion. Thanks for talking with me. Cheers! Doctormatt (talk) 20:50, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Marisauna! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading File:April ONeil TMNT 06-1986.jpeg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 17:05, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
